ben wilson This is the blog of a one Ben Wilson, a Louisville, Kentucky native who enjoys baseball, beer, music, bikes, things that fly and good food. By day he pushes pixels and makes the Internet happen for a local advertising agency. His wife, Kelly is an Ironman, and his baby Amelia is the cutest thing ever.

so i was searching google to find an electrician here in louisville and i stumbled upon a quick guide to anarchy and anarchists in Louisville, Kentucky. when they speak of “the United States’ largest inland shipyard”, they mean Jeffboat (hey! Corvus designed that site). In any case, i found it interesting that such anarchist movements still existed.

It would seem that this group of “anarchists” are actually a group of Industrial Workers of the World members. The IWW seems to be pretty radical in its ideals — “the abolition of the wage system” is their motto, though something tells me that most of the folks who belong to the IWW are OK with the more conservative “A fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work,” until they are on strike, anyway.

While some folks, especially in management would like to see groups like the IWW disappear, I still hold that radical elements keeps idealism fresh.

Oh yeah, I still need an electrician…
